DeoxIT on cables/Jacks?

Love DeoxIT, in the mid-eighties I bought these little integrated amps made by Cambridge and then soon after they were copied by Acoustic Research. I had a couple sitting in the basement un-used for probably 10 years and when you put signal to them one channel or the other would cutout. I sprayed all the pots and switches with DeoxIT and everything was silky smooth and not a cutout to be heard. You need to clean everything and I'm of the school of thought that all the little things put together add up to great sound.

If there is a change, it will be positive. So why not?
When you consider the infinitesimal electrical issues that ultimately have an affect sound quality. A clean electrical path seems like it would be something to do regardless.

Be prepared. When you do it, it will sound different. I bought the entire three part Deoxit kit, and when I was finished, I did not like the way my system sounded for several days. 
I do still believe in the practice of cleaning with these products, but it does have an initial sonic effect that I don't like.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. That’s pretty close to how I have been using deoxIT so confirmation is good. Detailed instruction like that is very helpful.
